The Little Girl Barbara Boxer Tried to Hide

Republican senators, seeking to pass a bill that will ban a practice that involves the killing of a child in the very act of birth, received some unexpected help from a perky 11-year-old, who once was a target of this brutal procedure.

Donna Joy Watts, accompanied by her parents, Donald and Lori Watts, made a return trip to Capitol Hill this week to urge the Senate to pass the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, S.3, which was introduced by their senator, Rick Santorum, R-Pa.

Six years ago, during a debate on a similar measure, the Wattses and their daughter were unceremoniously ushered out of the Senate gallery at the insistence of Barbara Boxer, who is the proud defender of this horrific practice.
